How to Make Your Goat Milk Soap Last Longer (Because It’s Too Good to Waste!)
At Flying Pig Cattle Co., we make our goat milk soap with love, care, and a little farm magic. Let’s be honest—you don’t want that creamy, dreamy bar melting away faster than an ice cube on a summer sidewalk.
So, if you want to keep your soap from pulling a Houdini-level disappearing act, follow these five simple tips to stretch each bar as long as possible!
1. Keep It High and Dry
Goat milk soap loves your skin, but it doesn’t love sitting in a puddle like a pig in a mud bath. If you let your soap soak in water, it’ll turn into a sad, squishy mess.
The fix? Use a soap dish with drainage—something with slats, ridges, or holes. Let your bar breathe a little, and it’ll stick around longer. Our Bamboo soap dish is perfect option.

2. Cut It Down to Size
You wouldn’t eat an entire cake in one sitting (…or would you?), so why use a whole bar of soap at once? Cutting your bar into smaller chunks means you’re only exposing a little at a time to moisture, making the rest last longer.
Plus, smaller pieces are perfect for travel, guest bathrooms, or hiding from family members who keep stealing your soap.
3. Lather Up with a Loofah
Your hands are great for washing, but a washcloth or loofah – like our Soap Saver Bag – helps you get the most suds with the least amount of soap. More lather, less waste—it’s a win-win!
Bonus: You’ll get a little exfoliation, too, so your skin stays as smooth as silk.

4. Don’t Let It Take a Shower with You
Yes, it’s soap. Yes, it belongs in the shower. But that doesn’t mean it needs to hang out directly under the water.
Keep your soap out of the direct stream and lather up with a washcloth or soap saver bag. instead. Less water exposure = a longer-lasting bar.
5. Rotate Your Bars Like a Pro
If you’re the type who can’t commit to just one scent (we get it, variety is the spice of life), try rotating your soaps. Using different bars gives each one a chance to dry out completely between uses, so they last longer.
Plus, it’s an excuse to stock up on more Flying Pig Cattle Co. soaps. You know… for practical reasons.
